Thank you Rosie, Yes I made a typo in regards to the marriage of Taylor - Simmons I do have the marriage record for Allen in Ontario - it was to his second wife, my grandmother's step mother. (Having a newborn and 2 young girls under 5 probably forced him to remarry right away - neither had family here in Canada to help out). I think my ggrandmother must be Maude Adelaide, and she lied about her age when she met and married Allen. (It would appear she was already pregnant with my grandmother when they married - and very pregnant when they immigrated to Canada) I think you may be right about liking the name Maud - but funny they spelt it differently with each. One was a Maud, the other a Maude. It isn't a name that appears in the tree prior or after., so not a family name passed down. Thanks for the info on the other marriages, I will investigate those. Cheers for now, Jennifer R.

On the 1911 Maud appears to be a servant in Bracon Ash and dob is around 1886. This may account for her being in Sussex to get married but I have been unable to spot Allen Simmons for certain on Ancestry. There is a Florence M Taylor marriage 1918 Swaffham which is adjacent to Sporle where they were living in 1911 and is also the name of the registration district. ( Free BMD) Ethel M Taylor marriage also Swaffham 1919 Free BMD. May not be the right ones of course but all the names you give including Horace seem to be living in Sporle with a James and Rose Taylor from Watton/Griston etc. There is also a marriage for an Alice M Taylor Swaffham 1906 . Alice Maud is with James and Rose Taylor at Sporle on the 1901 so my original idea that one Maud had been named for a deceased sister does not seem to apply ( I have this happening in my tree) So maybe your ancestors liked the name Maud-my great grandmother had sisters who shared first and second names, I think they ran out of ideas after six. I see Ancestry has an Allen H Simmons marriage record Ontario but I do not have the sub to look at that entry . The only solution I can think of, as you have those names on a death certificate, if you cannot find any other Rosa Barnes and James Taylors marriages, is that your Maud married someone rather younger and rounded down her age.
